Looking for Appalachian style fonts or identity of sample

[arete]

Hi, A friend is opening a store in Pigeon Forge (Smoky Mountains) and is looking to evoke an Appalachian feel with their signage. I have found several samples online that conform to a similar look. They all seem to have small "wings" on the lettering. Does anyone recognize what this could be or have a recommendation of a similar font? Preferably free or low cost. Would be commercial use.  Many thanks in advance!

You could look for keywords like “tuscan” or simply “western”.

The technical term for those “wings” is median spur....

Thanks Kevin! That is helpful. I knew there had to be a term to describe it.
